hey mate, just wondering are the blue aprkers illegal and if not hwo do you install/aquire?

[spud_22]

Not really sure if they are. People have told me different things all the time. Im just going to leave them in till i get told to take them out.
Really easy to put in they are just a normal parker globe that fit straight in to the socket. Got mine off ebay

[EDGE3]

Are they just the parking lights that are blue or the full lights aswell,and do they shine far enough in front like normal lights? Thats probably where you would get told to take them off if they dont work exactly the way normal lights work,if you have them on as a cosmetic feature then they probably wont be legal

[spud_22]

Just the parkers. it really doesn't have any effect when you turn the normal lights on. You can only see the blue in the normal light s if you look real close.

Illegal thou man , and defectable

[spud_22]

yea i sort of thought they were. driving behind a cop last night with them on and didnt have any trouble at all. just trying to find out what would happen. lol

[spud_22]

Just wired up some blue LED strip lights in the footwells. The camera flash doesnt do them any justice tho.

good easy way to make the car look clean... de-badge it. makes it look so much cleaner and nicer.

[spud_22]

yea i was looking at it yesterday and was thinking about de-badging in

[sprayzz]

when i did it i grabbed myself some touch up paint came up nice

Will be getting one of these done in the coming weeks. Only problem is the decision is to hard too make.
What would you people recommend?

[sprayzz]

id go cat back personally..atleast that way the car will sound nice

Yea I have been leaning towards the cat back. But I hate how gutless she is

Would this be worth trying or would it be better to go to a exhaust place

[sprayzz]

id go to an exhaust place mate... but then again if you can do the job and save some $$ go for it. i paid $300 for mine thats everything and was done in 30mins... warrenty etc. but like i said if you can do it , do it save yourself $100

[spud_22]

yea i can do it my self. Love it when you have a GF and her dad has a wicked shed with everything you will ever need in it. lol

[sprayzz]

haha nice! that would be they way mate.. save yourself alot of $ if you can do yourself. it amazing what ppl charge for somthing so simple. lol

[spud_22]

yea it is pretty god avoiding the labour costs

I recently bought a Redback cat-back from him for a mates VT V6, arrived 2days later (as he's in QLD and I'm in VIC), all wrapped up safe'n'sound.

nice VS man. I swear that bay is familiar..... ohhh mornington. other side lol.

i reckon ditch the blue parkers man, too easy to get defected, just put white ones in there they look just as good.

[spud_22]

The bay is round near torquay on the great ocean road. Yea ill change them one day CBF now, maybe when i change my headlights next. I really want some super bright white lights that are cheap. Does anyone know of any?

[nathanVY]
